<dl id="job_info"><dd><p><font size="4">Postdoctoral positions are available immediately in the <strong>Structural Biology Laboratory</strong> headed by <strong>Dr. C. S. Raman</strong>
at the University of Maryland, Baltimore. Research in the Raman
laboratory combines structural, biophysical, biochemical, and cell
biological approaches to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying
cellular signaling. The laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art
equipment for fermentation, high-throughput protein expression,
purification, crystallization (liquid handlers for screen generation and
optimization, Mosquito LCP robot, and crystal imaging systems), X-ray diffraction, and high definition mass spectrometry (Synapt G2 HDMS). In addition, we have ready access to synchrotron
facilities. For a representative example of our work, please consult<em>:</em></font></p></dd><dd><p><font size="4"><em>Nature 455: 363-368</em>.</font></p>
<p><font size="4">Applicants should hold a PhD in biochemistry, biophysics, chemistry,
molecular biology, or a closely related field. Applicants should have
experience in protein crystallography as well as a good publication
record. Strong background in protein expression and biophysical
characterization is essential. Expertise in membrane protein
purification is a plus. Furthermore, strong communication skills in oral
and written English are required.</font></p></dd></dl>��������� <font size="4">To apply, please, send a letter of interest, a CV, and names of three references by e-mail to: <br>�������� <a href="mailto:craman@rx.umaryland.edu">craman@rx.umaryland.edu</a></font>
